Specimen requirements:

2-4 ml of blood with anticoagulant EDTA

4 µg DNA in TE, AE or pure sterile water at 100-250 ng/µl
The A260/A280 ratio should be 1.8-2.0. DNA sample should be run on an agarose gel as a single band, showing no degradation, alongside with a quantitative DNA marker.

1. Confirmation of clinical diagnosis
2. Diagnosing of genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous group of disorders
3. Testing patients with atypical phenotype
4. Diagnosis of patients with genetic disorders for which diagnostic panels are not available
5. Genetic counseling

Whole exome sequencing (WES) includes the sequencing of the protein coding regions and their flanking intronic regions in ~20,000 genes of the human genome. The coding region represents 1-2% of the human genome but contains approximately 85% of disease-causing mutations. WES is performed on the HiSeq sequencer, Illumina Inc with the following characteristics: 70-100x average coverage, 214,405 target exons.
